Sometimes, it can be tricky to get into the car from the back. Whether you’re a parent trying to help your child get in or an adult trying to get into your own car, sometimes the door won’t open all the way. But with a little ingenuity and some tools, you can jacked up your car from the rear in no time at all.
What you need
Before you jack up a car from the rear, make sure to have these items on hand:
-A jack
– Safety glasses
– A sturdy work surface
– A 2×4 or similar piece of wood
– A wrench or socket set
– A bucket or large container to catch the jackstands and parts
1. Park your car on a level surface with the wheels away from any obstacles. Make sure the transmission is in neutral.
2. Place the 2×4 against the car’s rear bumper and use a wrench or socket set to loosen the lugnuts.
3. Lift the car using the jack and position it so that the axle is resting on the 2×4.
4. Tighten each lugnut one by one until the car is firmly mounted on the 2×4. Be careful not to over-tighten; this could damage the bumper or axle.
5. Place safety glasses and work gloves on and start tightening bolts on the chassis side of the car (just below where you installed your jack). Work your way around to the other side, making sure all bolts are tight before lowering your car back down to the ground.
How to jack up a car from the rear
If you’re looking to jack up a car from the rear, there are a few things you need to know beforehand. First, you’ll need a wrench that’s at least 3 inches wide. Second, you’ll need some large plates or something else heavy to place on the ground in front of the car so it doesn’t move. And finally, you’ll need a second wrench to help twist the first wrench while you hold onto the car’s bumper.
Start by putting the weight on the wrench in front of the car. The more weight you put on it, the more leverage your partner will have when they twist the wrench. Now your partner can start twisting it towards the back of the car. Be careful not to overtighten it or you might damage the car! Once it’s close enough, release the bumper and let your partner finish lifting it up.
